Yeah... so: http://www.local6.com/news/5784303/detail.html


Toddler's Talking Elmo Book Asks 'Who Wants To Die?'
Company Receives Several Complaints

POSTED: 10:37 pm EST January 1, 2006
UPDATED: 10:22 am EST January 2, 2006

A mother in Dallas is one of several parents complaining about a new interactive book for toddlers in which Sesame Street character Elmo asks "who wants to die?" according to a Local 6 News report.

Family members said 16-month-old Miranda Boll's new book, "Potty Time With Elmo," was supposed to teach an interactive lesson using voice commands.

However, when the book's buttons are pressed, it reportedly says something it is not supposed to -- "who wants to die?"

"It's a sick joke," mother Angela Bolls said. "If it's a joke then it's a bad one, you know? And it's not necessary. It's inappropriate."

Bolls said she checked another copy of the same book and found that it says something completely different; "Who wants to try to go potty?"

The company that makes the book said it has had several complaints concerning the book, according to the report.

Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.

It sounds like: "Uh-oh, who wants to go?"

::Cue The Count voice::

One potential class action lawsuit... ha ha ha.


Thou, because I am wroth, be not dismayed, for I shall win the strife, whoever circle round within for the defence. This their insolence is not new, for of old they used it at a less secret gate, which still is found without a bolt. Above it thou didst see the dead inscription; and already on this side of it
descends the steep, passing without escort through the circles,
One such that by him the city shall be opened to us.

Below and to the right of the elmo picture it says: "On The Side: Teens and Oral Sex."

Listening again it sounds more like: "Uh-oh, who wet the bed?"

I think the "Who wants to die?" version of the book should be preserved for the laughter of future generations. The concept is definitely skitable regardless.


RIP Hacker.
